We begin the 801st Episode of Neon Jazz with the legendary trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith joined by his Orange Wave Electric honor the late, great Tony Williams. We follow that opener with a song from the early '70s Life Time. We also get some hip, new jazz infused music from Girls in Airports, Emily Braden and Miles Electric Band. We also hear some classic old school jazz from Clyde McCoy, Gary Peacock and Billie Holiday. Finally, we say goodbye to Kidd Jordan on a grand career in music. Enjoy the jazz, my friends.
